Steve Bannon emerged Tuesday from four months in federal prison. He was tanned, supposedly “empowered,” and obviously eager to again help Donald Trump lie about election results if he loses.
But he presented himself on his War Room show and in a press conference Tuesday as a freedom fighter.
“If you’re not prepared to be thrown in prison by this weaponized justice system, then you’re not prepared to stand up and fight for your country,” Bannon said after serving his sentence at a low-security prison in Connecticut.
Bannon may be in an interlude between prison sentences. He is set face trial in December in New York for allegedly defrauding donors to a charity that claimed to be raising private funds to help build Trump’s promised wall along the Mexican border.
So much of this reminds me of Yugoslavia in the months leading up to that bloody civil war where neighbor killed neighbors, men, women and children were slaughtered just and only because of their ethnicity
The upcoming weeks will be interesting to say the least
